“HOW THE U.S. CAN ENSURE ENERGY SUPPLY FOR THE FUTURE”

Speaker: John Hofmeister, President
Shell Oil Company

To ensure U.S. energy for the future, the energy industry must address the delicate balance between energy production and consumption with increased supply. This includes a full array of energy sources: conventional and unconventional oil and gas, clean fossil fuels, alternative and renewable energy sources - including biofuels and hydrogen for transportation fuel, and wind and solar technology for electricity.

The industry must—and can, with advanced technology—conduct business in socially, economically, and environmentally responsible ways.

Plan to attend an inspirational evening where we will celebrate the multi-faceted achievements of several generations of superstars in the energy industry: The audience will include: 
 
  • SPE - Gulf Coast Section Scholarship and Houston SPE Auxiliary Scholarship winners, who are high school seniors planning to pursue engineering degrees, and their parents;
  • SPE - Gulf Coast Section Scholarship renewals, who are current petroleum engineering majors, and their parents;
  • SPE-GCS special award winners from the Science Engineering Fair of Houston in the Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Earth & Space Science, and Environmental Science, who are middle and high school students, and their parents and teachers;
  • SPE-GCS Scholarship winners for the Communities in School Houston program, a program for “at risk” high school seniors, and their parents;
  • SPE-GCS Young Professionals members, who are SPE members with less than 10 years industry experience. The YP was designed to identify and develop future leaders for SPE, to recognize and affirm the leadership potential of young members and to strengthen SPE through YP initiatives;
  • SPE-GCS Legion of Honor members, who have 50 years of SPE membership;
  • SPE Auxiliary members, which is the SPE spouses’ organization;
  • Various winners of SPE section and regional awards who will be recognized for volunteerism;
  • SPE members and their spouses.
SPE-GCS is requesting that companies sponsor tables at the banquet.  This sponsorship will entitle the sponsor company to two seats at a table and a marquee on that table.  The sponsor company will also be recognized in the program for their contribution to the evening.  The cost for sponsoring a table will be $500 donated to the SPE-GCS, a non-profit organization.
